[Verse 1]
Em
Daddy told me when I was seventeen
C D Em
Live straight, shoot straight, and always keep my dreams
Em
But a man killed him, shot him in cold blood
C D Em
As he died I held his hand I think he knew I understood
[Chorus]
G Bm Am Em
He said follow the sun where the west was won
D Am Em
And the desert kissed the moon
G Bm Am Em
One day I pray that you won’t need this gun
C D Em
But for now, keep your back to the sun
[Verse 2]
Em
Some kill for money, some kill for gold
C D Em
I kill for vengeance cause I guess they took my soul
Em
Now I’m a running man, running in the rain
C D Em
I still see the faces, but the whisky kills the pain
[Chorus]
G Bm Am Em
He said follow the sun where the west was won
D Am Em
And the desert kissed the moon
G Bm Am Em
One day I pray that you won’t need this gun
C D Em
But for now, keep your back to the sun
[Solo]
G Bm Am Em C D Em
G Bm Am Em C
[Chorus]
G Bm Am Em
He said follow the sun where the west was won
D Am Em
And the desert kissed the moon
G Bm Am Em
One day I pray that you won’t need this gun
C D Em
But for now, keep your back to the sun
C D Em
I said for now, keep your back to the sun
C D Em
Yeah for now, keep your back to the sun
